I have a Droid 1 and occasionally I have this same problem - "waiting for GPS signal". To me it appears as though the GPS in the Droid has lost calibration (a similar thing occasionally would happens to my stand-alone GPS and to built-in compass in the car requiring me to recalibrate them)
It is very easy to recalibrate your GPS in your Droid.
1. Go outside to a spot that has a clear view of the sky.
2. Turn on the phone, turn on GPS, and Maps (you might want to set a route so it searches for the satellites).
3. Holding the Droid Face up in the portrait position, move your arm/hand with the droid slowly in a figure-8 motion, keeping the phone parallel to the ground. Repeat the figure-8 motion at least 5 times.
4. Turn off the Maps
5. Turn maps on, the try to navigate.
Whenever I recalibrate the GPS in the Droid, it then quickly locks on the satellites.
Good luck,
Bob
